    I wouldn't exactly say reddit it dead, Reddit is sure a beast to be reckoned with. It has devoured, not be acquisitions but by migration of content and users. Reddit in general has a massive amount of content, loyal users, and heavy built communities. I'd say at the moment it's more like an injured animal crawling off to lick its wounds and determine what it's place is and where it belongs. Reddit isn't the same community Digg was and I'm sure this isn't the last time there will be a massive revolt. These rebellions are a feast for the trolls and I'm sure many people are leaving because of the drama. But once it cools down and matters are settled I'm sure all of these social boards similar to snapzu will find their niche audiences and build upon pleasing the masses. Snapzu has a big chance here to feed itself and as a longtime reddit user I'm hoping for the best here because the social boards on the internet are in need of some change just as every other market is facing massive disruption.

      So do you think that a lot of the Redditors that are coming here are just checking out Snapzu until everything at Reddit blows over? Or do you think this might become a second home of sorts for a lot of people?

        You weren't asking me, but IMO I think people have learned not to put all their eggs in one basket. I certainly have. I want to become acquainted across many more communities, because I know how fickle the internet can be. Things can turn to shit in an instant. There's no reason to be loyal to any one community.

        This place is more like my third or fourth home. Or my man cave, maybe.
